You should subtract the cost of your flight and hotel you are staying at so we can get a better idea of what you can do.

I did some research at several travel agencys and they said it would cost about a little over 2200 dollars (flight+insurances+hotel.)
So I think i hav enough money left on food and activities.
Im just staying in a 2 star hotel.
I dont care about hotel, it just has to be in a safe enviroment and pretty close to downtown Manhattan.

Some ideas for you to visit/see:

- Pier 17
- Financial District and NYSE (too bad you can't visit the inside of New York Stock Exchange anymore)

- Greenwich Village
- China Town
- Central Park (rent a bicycle or rollerblades, and have fun)
- all the sky scrapers

Have you already searched Tripadvisor website to see people's reviews on different NYC hotels? Tripadvisor is a good resource to have!

Thank you for your time and advice.
I just want to gather as much information as possible, because im only there for a week.
I dont want to go there and regretting later i just havent seen something i really should.
Because it will probably be a matter of years when i visit NY again, or maybe ill never do it again. Im just not that much of a traveling person, and Amsterdam gets kinda dull when u go there every month. Just looking to expand my horizon.
Off course i'll visit standard things like the statue of liberty, Empire State Building and Times square, im just here to find out not so common things in NY
but are just fun to visit or do.
